Volume 2, Book 20, Number 215:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) fell down from a horse and his right side was either injured or scratched,
so we went to inquire about his health. The time for the prayer became due and he offered the pray –
er while sitting and we prayed while standing. He said, “The Imam is to be followed; so if he says
Takbir, you should also say Takbir, and if he bows you should also bow; and when he lifts his head
you should also do the same and if he says: Sami’a-l-lahu Liman Hamidah (Allah hears whoever
sends his praises to Him) you should say: Rabbana walakal-Hamd (O our Lord! All the praises are for
You.”) (See Hadith No. 656 Vol. 1).

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
In the life-time of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) the people were afflicted with a (famine) year. While
the Prophet was delivering the Khutba (sermon) on the pulpit on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The livestock are dying and the families (offspring) are hungry: please pray
to Allah to bless us with rain.” Allah’s Apostle raised both his hands towards the sky and at that time
there was not a trace of cloud in they sky. Then the clouds started gathering like mountains. Before
he got down from the pulpit I saw rain-water trickling down his beard. It rained that day, the next
day, the third day, the fourth day and till the next Friday, when the same Bedouin or some other per –
son stood up (during the Friday Khutba) and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The houses have collapsed and
the livestock are drowned. Please invoke Allah for us.” So Allah’s Apostle raised both his hands and
said, “O Allah! Around us and not on us.” Whichever side the Prophet directed his hand, the clouds
dispersed from there till a hole (in the clouds) was formed over Medina. The valley of Qanat re –
mained flowing (with water) for one month and none, came from outside who didn’t talk about the
abundant rain.

Volume 2, Book 17, Number 130:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Livestock are destroyed and the roads
are cut off. So please invoke Allah.” So Allah’s Apostle prayed and it rained from that Friday to the
next Friday. Then he came to Allah’s Apostle I and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Houses have collapsed,
roads are cut off and the livestock are destroyed.” So Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) prayed, “O Allah! (Let it
rain) on the tops of mountains, on the plateaus, in the valleys and over the places where trees grow.”
So the clouds cleared away from Medina as clothes are taken off.

slaughter another sacrifice. Then a person from the Ansar stood up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! be –
cause of my neighbors (he described them as being very needy or poor) I slaughtered before the
prayer. I have a young she-goat which, in my opinion, is better than two sheep.” The Prophet gave
him the permission for slaughtering it as a sacrifice.

Volume 2, Book 14, Number 68:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) offered the Fajr prayer when it was still dark, then he rode and said, ‘Allah
Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. When we approach near to a nation, the most unfortunate is the morning
of those who have been warned.” The people came out into the streets saying, “Muhammad and his
army.” Allah’s Apostle vanquished them by force and their warriors were killed; the children and
women were taken as captives. Safiya was taken by Dihya Al-Kalbi and later she belonged to Allah’s
Apostle go who married her and her Mahr was her manumission.
